The tourist service at Gordes :
The start is rather easy, followed by a climb up to the village of Gordes, and what follows is magical but a little more physically and technically demanding.
Beautiful trails, abundant dry-stone heritage, and the beauty of unspoiled nature. After the Croix des Baux, the final climb on a cobblestone road can be demanding, especially if the stones are wet. But in the end, it’s definitely worth it!
Caution: Control your downhill speed; you may not be the only person on these paths!
